Ssd1 and the cell wall integrity pathway promote entry, maintenance, and recovery from quiescence in budding yeast. [PDF]
Wild Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains are typically diploid. When faced with glucose and nitrogen limitation they can undergo meiosis and sporulate. Diploids can also enter a protective, nondividing cellular state or quiescence. The ability to enter quiescence is highly reproducible but shows broad natural variation.

Genetic dissection of the signaling pathway required for the cell wall integrity checkpoint [PDF]
ABSTRACT The cell wall integrity checkpoint monitors synthesis of cell wall materials during the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle. Upon perturbation of cell wall synthesis, the cell wall integrity checkpoint is activated, downregulating Clb2 transcription.

Calcineurin signaling pathway influences Aspergillus niger biofilm formation by affecting hydrophobicity and cell wall integrity [PDF]
Abstract Background Biofilms, as a kind of fixed-cell community, can greatly improve industrial fermentation efficiency in immobilized fermentation, but the regulation process is still unclear, which restricts their application. Ca2+ was reported to be a key factor affecting biofilm formation. However, the effect of Ca2+

Rice Homeobox Protein KNAT7 Integrates the Pathways Regulating Cell Expansion and Wall Stiffness [PDF]
During growth, plant cells must coordinate cell expansion and cell wall reinforcement by integrating distinct regulatory pathways in concert with intrinsic and external cues. However, the mechanism underpinning this integration is unclear, as few of the regulators that orchestrate cell expansion and wall strengthening have been identified.

The CWI Pathway: Regulation of the Transcriptional Adaptive Response to Cell Wall Stress in Yeast
Fungi are surrounded by an essential structure, the cell wall, which not only confers cell shape but also protects cells from environmental stress.

Analysis of the cell wall integrity pathway of Ashbya gossypii
Fungal cells are exposed to rapidly changing environmental conditions, in particular with regard to the osmotic potential. This requires constant remodeling of the cell wall and, therefore, the cell wall integrity (CWI) MAP-kinase pathway plays a major role in shaping the fungal cell wall to protect from adverse external stresses.

Substrates of the MAPK Slt2: Shaping Yeast Cell Integrity
The cell wall integrity (CWI) MAPK pathway of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is specialized in responding to cell wall damage, but ongoing research shows that it participates in many other stressful conditions, suggesting that it has functional ...
